Perhaps a conundrum, but there are some beers that I just don't like. I ran into one beer that I really didn't like a couple of months ago in the Republic of Korea (a.k.a. South Korea)... Cass. I actually had to use a Heineken to wash my mouth out after having some Cass. Hell, Cass makes a warm, skunked can of PBR taste like manna from heaven.

There were several breweries, now thankfully defunct, in St. Louis when I was growing up there. Falstaff, Griesedick Brothers, and Stag. All were cheap and ensured devastating hangovers. They would achieve the desired effect while drinkng the swill. An analysis came back on Falstaff: "Your horse has dibetes."

I have to quibble with Olympia being on the list. This was the first beer I ever had (in the sand dunes at Coronado Beach). Thought it was pretty good and two quarts of Oly became a staple for many years.

The others suck.

There were 40 oz. bottles called Little Brown Jugs that were horrible, but cheap.

Rheingold used to sponsor that famous TV show Archie's Tavern

Rheingold happed to make it on to the 25 beers to avoid at all costs list:

Yeah, that's the real name of the awful swill. They used to be the radio sponsor for the St. louis Cardinal baseball team in the mid 1950's, and touted by the reknonwed Harry Carey. Blech!! Even my Dad, who drank almost any beer, wouldn't touch the stuff!

I am with Zbrown on the oly...The glass quarts were alright as i remember...I worked in a liquor store when i was in high school and remember Colt 45 six packs in 8 oz. can..And i remember the houston astros when they were called the colt 45's...Now if i could remember where i left my keys...?
